Battery

[Tiger]

Why are they different part numbers???

because the + and - are on different sides

Left hand, right hand.

Very funny - still don't understand why they would be different - isnt a battery a battery?

Gawd.......

I've posted this about 3 times in the last 2 weeks!!! Does no one listen?

ALL EFI 2.4 and 3.0 2nd GEN SURFS HAVE 2 BATTERIES, WINTER PACK OR NOT!!! IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SPEC THEY ARE.

The only trucks that have single batteries are non-EFI 2.4's and 3rd Gens, then the 'Cold Weather' versions do have 2 batteries.

Rant over....

sorry lol

Left hand, right hand.

To clarify, look at the tops of the batterys, the poles are reversed on one, so that the +ive terminal is next to the engine on both batterys, and the -ive's are on the outside.

sorry lol

s'ok.

Can't you just turn them round (sorry am I being really thick here)

It refers to the connections alone. The neg is on the outer edge, closest to the bodywork. So obviously, left hand side, right hand side.

You can, but the cables will be stretched and untidy
